I'm using naim on a dbox2. It is self compiled with
uclibc-0.9.28.3
ncurses-5.3
gcc-core-3.4.6
gcc-g++-3.4.6

The following configure options have been used:

./configure --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
--host=powerpc-tuxbox-linux-uclibc --prefix=

Naim seems to work fine, but suddenly it crashes with the error message
mentioned above.

This is a known problem with whatever ppc compiler you are using.  

Try changing line 1614 of toc2.c from
 assert(*info == -2);
to:
 assert(*info == -2 || *info == 254);

And:

1623:           assert((info[0] == -2 || info[0] == 254) || (info[0] == '<') ||
((info[0] == 0) && (info[1] == '<')));
and
1629:           assert(*third == -2 || *third == 254);

(int8_t)-2 *is* (uint8_t)254 (both are 0xFE). Looks like it's promoting an 
unsigned
char to a signed int for the comparison (comparing 0x000000FE to 0xFFFFFFFE).
